What Is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that prevents the victims from accessing their documents, pictures, databases and other files by
encrypting them and demanding a ransom to decrypt them back. A deadline is assigned for the ransom payment, and if the deadline passes, the
ransom demand doubles or files are permanently locked. Ransomware is an ever-increasing threat worldwide, claiming a new victim every 10
seconds.

How Ransomware Started

One of the first modern Ransomware attacks was detected over a decade ago in Russia. It moved files on the attacked PC to a
password-protected ZIP folder, and deleted the originals. To recover their files, victims had to transfer $300 to an E-Gold account that can be
considered an early type of BitCoin.

Types of Ransomwares

While they generally rely on similar tactics to take advantage of users and hold your data hostage, there are different families of Ransomwares.
The most common ones are:

WannaCry - is the most recent (last May) and the largest Ransomware attack to date. It infected more than 100,000 computers by
taking advantage of an unpatched Microsoft Windows vulnerability.

Locky - first seen arriving as a macro in a Word document, and then spotted being spread via Adobe Flash and Windows Kernel
Exploits. Locky ransomware is known for deleting shadow copies of files to make local backups useless.

Cryptowall - Its latest version is known for encrypting also the names of the encrypted files making it harder for the victim to know what has been encrypted. It is spread in many ways such as attachments in phishing emails from financial institutions. The ransom demanded is usually $700, doubling after about a week to $1400.

Cerber - the world’s biggest ransomware-as-a-service scheme, it isis a franchise scheme, with its developer recruiting affiliates
who spread the malware for a cut of the profits. Cerber was used in an attack that potentially exposed millions of Microsoft Office 365
users to the infection.
